Which kind of language is it n from which region?
Really I don't know

Sanskrit is a classic language of the Indian sub-continent (Indo-European), gathered from the languages of Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, and Jainism. It's one of the 23 official languages of India.

Vedic Sanskrit is considered the earliest Indo-Aryan languages and dates back to at least 1500 BCE.

I hope this answers your question!

Sanskrit is the oldest extisting member of the Indo-european grop of languages.
Here is the family tree:

Indo-European

Indo-Iranian

Sanskrit

For writing it uses Devanagari script( The Script of City of Gods) which is a phonetic script i.e. the words are written as they are spoken. Sanskrit has basic root verbs from which verbs with a variety of meanings are derived by adding prefixes. Verb forms are made from root verbs by adding suffixes. All the verbs in Sanskrit are divided into 10 major classes & further subdivided for which there are different group of suffixes. It will not be far fetched to say Sanskrit was earliest language to have implemented the concept of OOP = Object Oriented Programming. This is a concept in software programming where all the required substructures are premade & then simply connected by referencing them at the right place.

So, if the words are written as they are spoken, and I would assume in no matter what language they are translated from into the Sanskrit script, is there a set way of translating them based upon the Sanskrit characters that are used?

This holds true for writing names in Sanskrit. It is transliteration not translation. Otherwise there are fixed rules of grammar & noun declensions that are used.

Is this something that only holds true for writing names in Sanskrit? I just would appreciate clarification concerning that. Thank you!

Does it work the same for other words also besides just names? As you mention, there are fixed rules of grammar and noun declensions that are used. Is there a site where one could learn how to transliterate words used, such as in a sentence?

Transliteration holds true for names only. For other words their meanings are translated using the appropriate words in Sanskrit. Sanskrit grammar is ruled by an Epic treatise written by PaNini nearly 5000 years ago in vedic times when it was a mainly a spoken dialect. He is aptly called "Father of Linguistics".

Hi Sanskrit is one of the oldest and mother of all languages.
Allmost all words from other languages were derived from Sanskrit like Father---->Peetha,
Mother------->Maathru,Brother------->Bhatru etc
